There is a beach at the south of the island of Chios. It is called "the black stones" or "black pebbles" (Μαύρα Βόλια-Mavra Volia in Greek), not without a reason. The waters are cool and crystal clear but walking on the pebbles, after they have been exposed to the bright sun for a few hours, and if you are barefoot, its like trying to walk barefoot on a hot frying pan.
Μια παραλία στα νότια του νησιού λέγεται "Μαύρα Βόλια". Η θαλασσα είναι κρυστάλινη και τα νερά δροσερά. Αλλά όταν προσπαθήσης να βαδίσης ξυπόλυτος στα πυρωμένα από τον ήλιο βότσαλα, είναι σαν να προσπαθείς να βαδίσης σε καυτό τηγάνι.

Looks like basalt from deep in the ocean. Nice area for a swim, with water shoes.
The water is so clear and inviting, and the pebbles look so cool!Difficult to imagine them being hot enough to give blisters on the feet.
great shots
have a nice week-end
Beautiful and so inviting, but you would not want to be barefoot.

Such a beautiful place! And the water is as beautiful as I remember it to be. Shoes are definitely needed here! Great post as always, Costas! Enjoy your weekend!

They say the 3 beaches at Mavra Volia were created after a volcano explosion... The pictures are wonderful!!!

Youch! It's flip-flops then. The sea looks so inviting I have to cross the pebbles somehow.
Πολύ θα ήθελα να πάω μια φορά στη Χίο. Πανέμορφες εικόνες!
Oh gods, I love those peebles! This is something we don't have in our beaches.
Kisses!
I'd like to go there but not with bare feet. :) Nice shots. I also like your header photo.
